Having Breathing Obstruction, Voice Change And Snoring Loudly. Should I Go For Surgery Or Homoeopathic Medicine?
If I should go for a surgery, are there hospitals which offer coblation procedures? How long the surgery will take? What are the possible complications?
Thanks for writing in.
I have seen the picture that you sent along and believe that we need to give you a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin-clavulanate here. Please see your physician for the same. Also, steam inhalation and anti-allergy medications like Tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once a day can help.
After that, if the tonsils dont become smaller, we should take a biopsy and consider removing it by surgery. I dont think you should try a herbal remedy as the symptoms are quite bad already.
Several hospitals in New Delhi offer coblation procedures for tonsillectomy. It is offered at Lady Hardinge Medical College , New Delhi. The large private hospitals like Apollo and Medanta should be definitely having this.
The surgery only takes a few hours. The surgery is a very common procedure and is generally safe. The main complications are bleeding and infection. In the hands of a good surgeon, these should be managed effectively
I hope that helps
Let me know if you have any more questions

Thanks for the information. I should see my physician today. In addition, I wanted to ask about approximate cost of this procedure if I have to get it done in a private facility.

The cost would vary from institution to institution. But it would be practically free at Lady Hardinge as its a government hospital. Let me know if you need any more help.
If you have no more concerns, please close this discussion.
